Updates That Could Reshape Your Strategy
This round of Commerce Corner is packed with signals. AI is changing how customers shop, loyalty is changing how they spend, and sellers are changing how they move. From DHL’s shipping pause to Shopify’s ChatGPT-powered checkout experiments, the takeaway’s clear—adaptability wins.
🧠 Shopify Is Bringing Your Products to ChatGPT
Shopify and OpenAI are testing a feature that lets buyers discover and buy Shopify products directly in ChatGPT. No site-hopping required.
AI-powered discovery might just be your new best salesperson.
💰 Consumers Will Pay 25% More for Brands They Love
A new survey shows shoppers are willing to spend more on brands they trust. Even with prices rising and margins getting tight.
Loyalty could be your strongest margin strategy this year.
🛒 Amazon Prime Day Inventory Is Due by June
Prime Day is going four days this year, and Amazon wants your inventory in early to keep your products Prime badge-ready.
Here’s your deadline checklist—before the boxes pile up.
📦 DHL Hits Pause on High-Value U.S. Deliveries
DHL is temporarily suspending shipments over $800 to the U.S. as customs rules get tighter, impacting international sellers and luxury goods.
If you sell premium products internationally, now’s the time to check your carriers.
INTEGRATION SPOTLIGHT
Selling wholesale through MarketTime? Now you can manage those orders and inventory right alongside your DTC and marketplace channels. That’s why we’re excited to spotlight our latest integration with MarketTime, a leading B2B platform connecting brands with retailers across trade shows, rep groups, and beyond.
With this integration—powered by Syncware—Ordoro users can automatically sync product data, inventory levels, and order information between platforms. That means less manual entry, fewer errors, and a much smoother wholesale workflow.
If MarketTime is part of your wholesale strategy (or you’re thinking about adding it), we can show you how to make it all work together.
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU
We’re exploring new ways to support your fulfillment workflow—and we’d love your input.
Whether you’re handling shipping in-house, partnering with a 3PL, or somewhere in between, your perspective helps us better understand what’s working, what’s frustrating, and where we can level up the tools we offer.
